Consider SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the communications technology for person-to-person real time data over the Internet. Its defining specifications come from the SIP working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. SIP provides access to the public switched telephone network for voice data at 3 kHz bandwidth and common number dialing using Voice over IP (VoIP). It can also be expanded to deal with IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Future enhancements will allow SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Battle Creek.
SIP is usually associated with a means to provide the functionality of standard telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less flexible protocols used in the past such as H.323 and MGCP. These older protocols performed at a very low level to link IP phones to the public telephone network. SIP, however, provides an elegant and well-defined way to network the enterprise. For example, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address in place of a telephone number over the regular telephone network.
Before installing a SIP plan in your business, you should consider the proper configuration of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the common firewalls already deployed in business offices are not designed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are often closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within a firewall can not be reached using IP addresses because these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line carrier or Ethernet fiber service is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager will need to evaluate how to correctly support SIP to get around these technical challenges. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is possible to handle complicated SIP situations for reliable and private communications.
